You should be listing a Household item that has a reasonable chance of selling within a couple of weeks.

Suggestions include:

a) an (still viable) internet modem or router.
b) a calculator that still has some value TI-83 etc...
c) some old sealed (branded) ink/toner cartridges
d) some auto parts you may have in the garage
e) maybe some used tools you have no use for anymore

I could pad this list to a easy 100. with common items

You can also hit the yard sales and find a lot of cheap stuff to resell. That's what I usually do when selling on a new account

I think the book is fine.
Sweater may fall in a "risky" area.. it depends on the brand.

Sat in front of me i have a used book, set of pens, a stapler, a bottle of water and a heel grip. Any of these would be fine. Just sell anything inconspicious like that.

book may have the issue of copyright.

Sweater is clothing and you may have the issue of a buyer whose ability to read & understand a listing is non-existent.

Look at safe and boring to list first up.
